<\/p>\n
Four of the priority markets are in ASEAN: Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Countries from \u201cemerging and developing Asia\u201d are drawing investors in more \u201cdeveloped\u201d nations, particularly western financial institutions (FIs), based on a survey by Standard Chartered of 400 European and American headquartered FIs.<\/p>\n
Of the top 10 markets which FIs have described as priority destinations for investment or business development, 7 of them are from Asia, with Mainland China and India being the top markets.<\/p>\n
Four of these markets are ASEAN member states: Malaysia (4th), Singapore (5th), the Philippines (6th), and Indonesia (7th).<\/p>\n
Other Asian countries include Bangladesh (10th), Cambodia (13th), Thailand (15th), and Vietnam (20th).<\/p>\n
Nations described as \u201cemerging and developing Asia\u201d are predicted to experience real annual GDP growth averaging between 4.5% and 5.2%, according to estimates by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).<\/p>\n
In contrast, GDP growth of \u201cadvanced economies\u201d are expected to fall at just 1.7% to 1.8%.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the medium-term, India, the Philippines, Vietnam and Bangladesh are likely to maintain consistently higher growth rates GDP, and growth in Malaysia and Indonesia should also be solid,\u201d says Molly Duffy, global co-head, Financial Institutions Coverage at Standard Chartered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe African growth story is equally distinctive: success stories such as Senegal and Cote d\u2019Ivoire are a result of positive domestic reform and opening to global trade. We also see a lot of upside potential in Egypt,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The so-called China Plus One phenomenon \u2013 the idea that western companies and investors should avoid overdependence on Mainland China by increasing their exposure to other economies \u2013 is one reason why there is growing demand for a wide range of dynamic markets, according to Standard Chartered.<\/p>\n
Mainland China\u2019s size and economic clout means it will inevitably continue to attract investment, it added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBanks are clearly at the forefront of supporting capital entering dynamic markets,\u201d Duffy said, adding that Standard Chartered expects that \u201csizable\u201d investments in high-conviction asset classes in these economies to continue.<\/p>\n
